No kidding. I'm running PT 10 w/ an MBox 3 Pro. I run the 11R straight in through SPDIF. I have a Eureka and when I actually record vocalists (I can't find one in Charlotte), I use a Michael Joly Hulk (U87 clone). I also use EZ Drummer. I guess I'm just using the wrong kit. The drums, for my tracks, just sound 'blah' to me. I'm using the Metal kit. I've also got the Vintage Kit, and I believe the Metalheads kit.
If you don't mind me asking, how do you get your volume nice and loud? I can't seem to get the volume up on my tracks without murdering the dynamics and introducing compression pumping and distortion. Your track sounds clear, loud, and separated. Great job.
